Biological predictive criteria for clinical pregnancy after elective single embryo transfer.
Summary of "Biological predictive criteria for clinical pregnancy after elective single embryo transfer."
In this prospective observational study, the onset of a clinical pregnancy after elective single embryo transfer (eSET) was significantly associated with: 1) the woman's age as well as the number of good- and top-quality embryos; and 2) the day of the embryo transfer (day 3 > day 2). Good-quality embryos had the same ability to implant, regardless of the zygotic score, the day 1 early cleavage rate, the fragmentation degree, and the top-quality assessment, specifying the eligibility criteria for eSET.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Predictive Value Of Tests
In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
Surgical Procedures, Elective
Surgery which could be postponed or not done at all without danger to the patient. Elective surgery includes procedures to correct non-life-threatening medical problems as well as to alleviate conditions causing psychological stress or other potential risk to patients, e.g., cosmetic or contraceptive surgery.
Patient Selection
Criteria and standards used for the determination of the appropriateness of the inclusion of patients with specific conditions in proposed treatment plans and the criteria used for the inclusion of subjects in various clinical trials and other research protocols.
Clinical Trial
Work that is the report of a pre-planned clinical study of the safety, efficacy, or optimum dosage schedule of one or more diagnostic, therapeutic, or prophylactic drugs, devices, or techniques in humans selected according to predetermined criteria of eligibility and observed for predefined evidence of favorable and unfavorable effects. While most clinical trials concern humans, this publication type may be used for clinical veterinary articles meeting the requisites for humans. Specific headings for specific types and phases of clinical trials are also available.
Pregnancy Proteins
Proteins produced by organs of the mother or the PLACENTA during PREGNANCY. These proteins may be pregnancy-specific (present only during pregnancy) or pregnancy-associated (present during pregnancy or under other conditions such as hormone therapy or certain malignancies.)
